3.2 Loading recording paper


Note for recording paper:
R We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before purchasing
large quantities.
R Do not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes
– Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured
– Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
– Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs or staples
– Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains
– Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as vellum paper.
These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
– Moist paper
– Inkjet paper
– Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper
– Electrostatically charged paper
– Badly curled, creased or torn paper
– Paper with a coated surface
R Some paper is designed to be printed on only one side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you are not
happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding occurs.
R For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
R Do not use paper of different types or thicknesses at the same time. This may cause paper jams.
R Do not re-use paper printed from this unit for another printing job (including other copiers or printers). This may
cause paper jams.
R To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original
packaging, in a cool and dry location.
R For customers who live in high humidity areas: Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned room at all
times. If you print using moist paper, it may cause paper jam.

Note:
R If the paper is not loaded correctly, re-adjust the paper guides, or the paper may jam.
R If the standard input tray does not close, the plate in the standard input tray may not be in the locked position.
Push the paper down and make sure that the paper is laying flat in the standard input tray.

Loading paper larger than A4 size (using the extension guide)


When loading paper larger than A4 size, install the supplied extension guide beforehand. See page 10 if it is supplied
to your unit.
1. Remove the recording paper guide.
1. Pinch the rear guide, then slide it inside.
2. Push down the stopper (A), and then remove the guide completely.

2. Install the extension guide.


1. Insert the hooks of the extension guide into the small holes of the tray (A).
R Make sure the arrows (B) match, to install the extension guide correctly.

R When printing with the computer, custom size recording paper can also be used (page 50).
R To print from the manual tray, change the paper tray setting beforehand.
– Select #2 for the printer properties when printing with the computer.
– Set the copy input tray setting to “#2” (feature #460) when making a copy.
Important:
R To print on thick paper, label or envelope:
– Be sure to open the rear cover before starting and print one sheet at a time. The recording paper will
be printed from the rear side. Therefore, if you print with the cover closed, the paper may jam inside
the unit.

– Be sure to close the rear cover after printing.


It can hold one sheet at a time. When printing or copying multiple sheets, add the next sheet after the first sheet has
been fed into the unit.
1 Adjust the width of the guides (A) to the size of the recording paper.
R If the unit is in sleep mode, press a key to put the unit in standby mode for the next process.
2 Insert the paper, print-side up (B) until the unit grasps the paper and a single beep is heard.

Note:
R The manual tray cannot be used for receiving faxes.
R If the copy input tray setting (feature #460) is not set “#2” beforehand, when printing or copying multiple pages,
the 1st page will be printed from the manual tray, but the rest of the pages will be printed from the standard input

3 Close the document cover.
Note:
R Confirm that there are no documents in the automatic document feeder. (y)
R Place the original onto the scanner glass gently. To avoid malfunction, do not press down too firmly.
R If the original is a book thicker than 15 mm, do not close the document cover.
R Confirm that any ink, paste or correction fluid has dried completely, as this may mark the scanner glass.

3. Basic Operations

3.3.2 Using the automatic document feeder y


1 Open the document tray (A).
A

2 Insert the document (up to 35 sheets) FACE UP into the feeder until a single beep is heard.
R To make a portrait copy, set the original in portrait direction. To make a landscape copy, set the original in
landscape direction.

R Adjust the width of the document guides (A) to fit the actual size of the document.
Note:
R Confirm that there are no documents on the scanner glass.
R Confirm that any ink, paste or correction fluid has dried completely.
R Remove clips, staples or other fasteners.
R Do not insert the following types of documents (Make a copy of the document using the scanner glass and set the
copy instead.):
– Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper
– Electrostatically charged paper
– Badly curled, creased or torn paper
– Paper with a coated surface
– Paper with printing on the opposite side that can be seen through the other side, such as newsprint
R When feeding certain types of document (for example, if back of the page is not clean) through the automatic
document feeder, it is possible that dirty marks may be left on the original document. To prevent this, we
recommend feeding the document one page at a time when using the automatic document feeder, or to use the
scanner glass.
R The total height of the documents when laid flat, must be less than 5 mm. If the documents exceed the capacity
of the automatic document feeder, they may fall or cause a jam in the feeder.
R To set a document with a width of less than 210 mm, we recommend using the scanner glass to copy the original
document onto A4 or letter-size paper, then setting the copied document for better results.
R Do not set documents that do not satisfy the requirements of size and weight. Make a copy of the document using
the scanner glass and set the copy.

Toner cartridge life


The toner cartridge needs to be replaced regularly. Toner cartridge life depends on the amount of content in a printed
document as below. The page counts are on the basis of “ISO/IEC 19752”*1 when printing A4/Letter size paper with
the default print density setting. The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of document. Please
refer to below example.
*1 “ISO/IEC 19752” is the global standard related to “Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for
monochromatic electrographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer components” issued
by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

Note:
R There are various factors that determine the actual toner cartridge life, such as temperature, humidity, type of
paper, how much toner you use, or the number of pages per print job. The actual number of pages your toner
cartridge will print may be significantly less than this estimate if your unit is often used for printing a small number
of pages per job. Because many of the factors that determine the actual toner cartridge life cannot be controlled,
we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your toner cartridge.
R The number of pages changes with the depth, thickness and size of the characters.
R The number of pages changes with the printing pages per job, if almost jobs are only 1 page per job, toner cartridge
life may be reduced approx. 30 % from above example 1.
R If you turn on the toner save feature, the toner cartridge will last approx. 20 % longer.

Drum life
The drum cartridge needs to be replaced regularly. The maximum drum life is approx. 10,000 A4/Letter size
single-sided pages.
Note:
R There are various factors that determine the actual drum cartridge life, such as temperature, humidity, type of
paper and how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The actual number of pages your drum
cartridge will print may be significantly less than this estimate if your unit is often used for printing small number
of pages per job. Because many of the factors that determine the actual drum cartridge life cannot be controlled,
we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum cartridge.
R If machine shows “DRUM LIFE OVER” on the display, drum cartridge has almost reached the end of its life. In
this case, machine will not stop printing, but we strongly recommend that you replace the drum cartridge to avoid
poor print quality.

Waste disposal method


Waste material should be disposed of under conditions which meet all national and local environmental regulations.
